No idea if the petition I signed for this made any difference, but I'm counting it as a win nonetheless! 😉

Trove is an invaluable resource that I've made use of on numerous occasions, and will doubtless do again, so this news comes as a relief.

@imalcolm I'm sure the petition AND a change of government and perspectives helped! 👏
